Help! Everything just disappeared from my Lumia 520 on WP8.1

[indiangooner]

Everything just disappeared from my Windows Phone after it crashed and rebooted! There is nothing in the menu item list and nothing appeared as tiles either. It was only when I received a notification for an app that it appeared as a tile. A search reveals that an app is not present on the phone, but searching the store shows that the app is installed.
Here are the screenshots of how my phone looks right now.

^Nothing appears in the menu list
i have tried restarting and a soft reset as well, but nothing is happening. Even the kid's corner doesn't show up. I'm thinking of doing a hard reset. Does anyone have any solutions to this?

Ok now some of the apps have come back all by themselves..Maybe this is a new bug?

IDK man, I'd go with a hard reset. Even if things look like they are the way they should be.

That's the weirdest thing I've ever seen on a windows phone!

Maybe the Android fanboys were right after all and there just are no apps for WP?

I kid, I kid.

I concur, if the hard reset doesn't work but before that try a soft reset.

I have a friend and his 1520 just did a reset automatically.
He lost everything. The phone was in his pocket, when he took was on the screen to choose the language, put the account...
